Legionella Risk Assessments

There are many sides to being a landlord, and it is often challenging to keep on top of them all. Without a doubt one of the most important acts of any landlord is to ensure the safety and security of the individuals in the home in question.

But what are the most important elements when you are getting a property checked over before a sale?

As you hand the keys over, you want to feel safe and secure that you are not placing anyone in harm’s way. Certain things are particularly obvious, such as ensuring that the exterior of the home is as secure as it needs to be.

One that always seems to catch landlords out is Legionella.
